This fMRI study found that brain regions activated by creativity tasks mapped to a circuit centered on the right frontal pole; damage to this circuit was linked to both decreases and paradoxical increases in creativity in multiple different brain diseases. ja.ma/40WYmDZ

Does human creativity map to a specific brain circuit? Can damage to this brain circuit increase creativity? New paper by Isaiah Kletenik Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics out today in JAMA Network Open says answer to both is YES. Paper is open access and great thread below:

A new study led by researchers at Mass General Brigham suggests that different brain regions activated by creative tasks are part of one common brain circuit. Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsr…

Excited to present my poster at ACTRIMS: “Network Localization of Multiple Sclerosis Gait Speed Compared to Stroke” 🧠☺️ ➡️ Thanks to Isaiah Kletenik and Michael Fox for the amazing mentorship! 🎉

Can brain injury cause the loss of visual imagination? We studied #aphantasia due to brain injury. Lesions were in many different regions but 100% were connected to fusiform imagery node - a region active during visual mental imagery Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Real and imagined images are processed using the same systems in the brain, yet most people can distinguish between the two. Now neuroscientists have identified two brain regions that keep imagined images separate from reality. go.nature.com/45kzPwj

MRI scans are becoming common in the courtroom and show abnormalities in defendants brains. But can any of these abnormalities actually cause #criminal behavior. New paper from Isaiah Kletenik Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics Mass General Brigham Research in says YES. Thread below:

“Should brain injury factor into how we judge criminal behavior? Causality in science is not defined in the same way as culpability in the eyes of the law,” Kletenik mused. Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics nypost.com/2025/06/27/hea…
